Chapter 525 - 296: Inheriting the Legacy of a Great Cultivator? Death! (Part 2)

In the guest seat, an elder from the Pill Cauldron Pavilion suddenly stood up, unable to stop himself from murmuring.

Upon hearing these words, the entire venue seemed to explode as if several bombs had been detonated.

"What? Tao Xinglie actually obtained the inheritance of the ’Heaven-Burning Daoist’. As expected from an Upper Three Grades Cultivation Technique, it can indeed boost one’s strength to such heights in a short time. It seems Wang Chan will be defeated."

"It’s said that Tao Xinglie left the Tao Family in his early years and traveled for several years. It seems this is true. Wang Chan’s defeat to Tao Xinglie is respectable despite the loss."

Before the competition, most people initially had higher hopes for Wang Chan, but after Tao Xinglie displayed the ’Heaven-Burning Technique’, the tide instantly turned.

Compared to Tao Xinglie, whose aura was terrifying like a demonic star descending upon the world, Su Mu on the stage appeared as nothing more than a child, the gap between them was truly vast.

So vast that one couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity.

On the Li Family’s side, led by Li Changshan and Li Yao, the Li Family disciples all had their expressions drastically change, their faces immediately becoming extremely tense.

"Damn it, Tao Xinglie actually has such fortunes!"

"He not only obtained the inheritance of a Great Cultivator but also successfully cultivated it."

Upper Three Grades Cultivation Techniques are unlike ordinary techniques, the difficulty in comprehending an Upper Three Grades Cultivation Technique is at least several times, even dozens to a hundred times greater than that of a Middle Third Grade Technique.

To successfully cultivate an Upper Three Grades Cultivation Technique at the Fifth Grade realm requires either great fortune or extraordinary talent and comprehension.

Thinking again about the earlier mentioned grand competition rules by Tao Xinglie, the Li Family members subconsciously clenched their fists simultaneously, with Li Yao further sending a message to her father and a few elders among the guest seats, hoping they would act to save Wang Chan’s life later.

"Senior brother, do you know the Heaven-Burning Daoist?"

"This aura indeed belongs to an Upper Three Grades Cultivation Technique... I’ve read some of the Heaven-Burning Daoist’s life in the ancient texts of the Library Pavilion, this person had a penchant for killing and acted extremely overbearingly, often exterminating entire families or slaughtering entire sects;"

"Such actions soon attracted the attention of the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Bureau. Subsequently, the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Bureau issued an execution order, and back then, the commander of the Qingzhou Demon Slayer Bureau, along with several chief judges and a few Great Cultivators from Qingzhou, joined forces to hunt him down."

"The Heaven-Burning Daoist was bloodthirsty but indeed possessed astonishing strength. Ancient texts noted that although he was a cultivator, his physical prowess was not inferior to that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, perhaps even surpassing it. Even when faced with multiple Great Cultivators besieging him, he still managed to escape, although after that battle, he vanished from the world. Some speculate that the Heaven-Burning Daoist perished after that battle..."

"If this person truly obtained the Heaven-Burning Daoist’s inheritance, no matter how high Wang Chan’s talent is, right now she stands no chance of victory."

"Is he really that strong?!"

Amidst the crowd, a pair of siblings in scholar robes conversed in low voices, the sister displaying shock. The physical prowess of a cultivator surpassing that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster — how powerful must that be.

Meanwhile, the Tao Family members were also visibly moved but swiftly exhibited expressions of joy and delight, while Tao Jidong, the Tao Family’s Law Enforcement Hall Master, couldn’t help but smile.

"Nephew Xinglie truly has such great fortune, Heaven bless the Tao Family!"

Tao Jidong leaned back against the chair, his eyes on Wang Chan on stage revealing a look of cruelty and mockery.

As Tao Xinglie showcased the Heaven-Burning Technique and displayed the Profound Fire Dharma Body, the outcome of this battle was already destined!

...

Absorbing the exclamations of the crowd below, those eyes filled with shock and reverence, Tao Xinglie on the stage displayed an intoxicated expression. This was what rightfully belonged to him, Tao Xinglie.

In this battle, he would make everyone know that he, Tao Xinglie, was not inferior to anyone!

"You’d better not think about conceding..."

In the Profound Fire Dharma Body state, Tao Xinglie’s voice had transformed, becoming somber but carrying an indescribable majesty and a touch of brutality.

"Because I won’t give you a chance to concede."

Tao Xinglie again moved his hand across his throat, making a throat-cutting gesture as he did outside the restaurant, and then grinned ferociously at Su Mu, his smile twisted and filled with cruelty.

Like a fierce beast eyeing a delicious and enticing prey.

Su Mu’s expression remained very calm, only his eyes shone brightly. His gaze flickered as he watched Tao Xinglie in his Profound Fire Dharma Body state, seemingly seeing the subsequent advancement path of the Molten Fire Golden Body.

He also saw a glimpse of Spiritual Light pushing the Profound Demon Five Transformations to the Upper Three Grades.

But this scene appeared in Tao Xinglie’s eyes as cowardice and dullness out of fear.

"It’s time to end this!"

Tao Xinglie, experiencing the incomparable power of his body at this moment, sensing the ineffable Divine Power within, beckoned back the three Dharma Artifacts surrounding him.

Next, he would use pure Divine Power to crush Wang Chan into utter despair, then destroy her!

He moved his legs, with the flames condensing into a Dharma Body covering the surface of Tao Xinglie’s physique, making his legs as thick as tree trunks, with each step causing the array patterns of the Central Martial Arts Arena, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Fourth Grade cultivator, to instantly light up and ripple.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps!

At this moment, the terrifying aura suppressed to the extreme within Tao Xinglie erupted explosively.

"Heaven-Burning Technique: Eastern Wilderness Heaven-Burning Palm!"

Tao Xinglie roared as a terrifying shockwave rolled outward layer by layer, the dreadful momentum spreading out like a volcanic eruption.

The visible white shockwaves spread out wildly like a whale spouting water, and a gust suddenly arose. The sky above the white Jiao Mountain’s summit plaza seemed tinged with a faint red, as if the heavens themselves were furious.

At this very moment, Tao Xinglie drove the killing move from the ’Heaven-Burning Daoist’s’ Cultivation Technique, an Upper Three Grades Cultivation Technique, to its utmost extremity.
